I cant stand actors.

Im dead serious, actors smell bad.

I am disgusted by lizards.

No Joke, lizards smell awful.

I never really knew that people could be addicted to porn.  When I confronted him about it, he said he’s been looking at porn since he was a kid and didn’t really see a problem with it.  He had never asked himself, “Am I addicted to online porn?“

We had a long talk and he finally agreed that maybe he should seek some help.  I found an online pornography addiction help program called Candeo that he agreed to check out.

I think this might save our relationship.

I have found that vinegar does a good job of gently cleaning this scale from the bright finish.  We keep lots of vinegar around my house, because I have found that it is truly a wonderful good-for-what-ails-it product.

I have used apple cider vinegar for years to control late night heartburn I would sometimes get after a spicy evening out.

The main problem for a pack rat is what to do with all the stuff he or she accumulates. Being a good organizer does not necessarily mean you have to get rid of everything you have, but it does mean keeping things in an organized and orderly fashion so that when the time does come to use it, you’ll be able to find it.

Organized pack rats usually find space to store their stuff in one place.  A disorganized packrat can become overwhelmed by ‘stuff’ and their family life and mental health can suffer as a result.  It’s very easy to get depressed and feel blue when it feels as though the clutter is closing in on you.

The best defense is “if in doubt, through it out”!

Kitchen or dining room tables can easily become a catch-all for everyone’s belongings.  Mail, school books, car keys, pens, pencils, and other miscellaneous items can quickly appear, and at dinnertime, end up in a large pile of clutter somewhere else in your household.

To curtail this habit, try organizing a central area for everyone’s belongings right inside the door to your house.  Install hooks on the wall so that purses, coats and backpacks can easily be hung upon entry.  A bench or short shelf can be placed directly underneath the hanging area for clearly labeled catch-all bins for each member of the family.  This will also help during the course of the day when picking up around the house.  Items found around the house can be placed in these bins, and each family member should get into the habit of making sure items are emptied from the bins and properly put away each evening.

Kill that clutter!

Just as it’s important for you to keep detailed records of your home business, your bills, income tax information or medical history, so too is it imperative that you keep a detailed records of all maintenance you perform on your home.

After all, it is your biggest investment, and the one thing in your house that requires constant TLC to maintain its value and to ensure it continues to be able to protect your family from the elements and keep them secure.

However, when you think about everything you have to do to take care of a home, setting up a manageable way of keeping accurate and detailed records can be a overwhelming task. But with some creative thinking and a commitment to accuracy and organization, it can make a daunting task quite simple.

Now there, you thought I was going to get extremely nit picky here didn’t you?

The first step is to develop a routine in your family for making sure their dirty laundry is delivered to the laundry room on a routine basis.  If you’ve established Wednesday and Sunday as laundry day in your home, then laundry needs to be delivered to the laundry room no later than Tuesday and Saturday nights.  That’s not too much to ask, is it?

Each person should be taught to sort laundry into designated hampers in the laundry room.   Younger children should be accompanied by a parent or older sibling when the time for this chore comes, but encouraged and assisted in the sorting process.

Stay on the little buggers.

Cheers

We all want to do our part in ensuring our environment stays as safe and healthy as possible for our children and future generations to come.  Many people don’t stop to think how their household cleaners can affect the environment, and how toxic they can make the immediate environment of your home.  With some careful forethought, planning and effort, your home can be cleaned safely and effectively, sparing the environment, your home, family and pets from toxic chemicals and fumes.

Most people firmly believe that surfaces in their homes must be disinfected on a continual basis to prevent illness and the spread of disease.  But the truth is most areas of your home don’t need to be disinfected to prevent the spread of germs.  This includes your bathroom. Mild detergents, hot water, and some elbow grease can generally do the trick.

As you begin the process of organizing your household, you may ask yourself what the best way is to motivate your family members to become and stay actively involved in the process.  Coercion, bribery, extortion, etc rarely work for the long haul.

Each family member is unique and so is their method for organizing and prioritizing.  But if you approach it from a coaching standpoint, it is possible to motivate your family to get on the organizational bandwagon.   Especially since you are leading by example.

First of all, remember that your family will get involved in the process for their own reasons, not necessarily just to please you.   Help each family member pinpoint their own motivations for wanting to get organized.

Remember getting them all to do what you want needs to seem to them like it’s what they want.
